Got my first Rolex 2 months ago...now at #6 already
New member here!
Im 27 years old, and I decided it was time to get my first Rolex a couple months ago. My first pickup was the milgauss black face, then it snowballed into this! My favorite at the moment is the daytona. I really like the look of the rubber B straps on the sub and milgauss as well.
I appreciate how much quality and workmanship rolex puts into each watch. It doesn't hurt that they all look amazing too!
Just wanted to share a few pics with you all and introduce myself! You will definitely be seeing me around the forum more! Thanks guys!

Nice collection, looks like you're missing a GMT! Lol

I'm quite a fan of the simplicity of the Oyster Perpetual especially with the grape dial. Will probably be my next Rolex to compliment my SubC (flipped my GMT C as it was too similar to the Sub C).

Nice collection mate. I'd go with the yachtmaster if you're planning on wearing it and the anniv sub if you're looking for an investment. Trying to decide between those two myself although may end up buying 'em both :)

Im also 27 just started collecting recently. I mean im not yet a collector as i only have two watchs a DJ II and a panerai. Bought my first rolex 3 weeks ago and i totally understand you. I have the rolex bug. Im already looking for my next rolex already.

My question is where do you usually look for rolexes? Im also in LA and know a couple of watch brokers. Are you buying these watches from the same person or do you use forums to buy your watches?

Im very interested as i am looking for my next watch it seems like you have a system down of finding the watch you want with what i'm assuming the price you want.
